I wish I felt capable of giving advice. I've always found relationships to be a great mystery. I've never been good at them and I do think there is some skill involved. I truly believe I lack that skill.
I attribute my recent success to two things: blind luck and being completely upfront and painfully honest about what I wanted and needed.
I agree with a few of the others concerning the subtle approach. Subtle always confused me. Most of the time it flew right past my head. I've really always needed a direct approach.
You're a very smart and interesting guy. You're also very trustworthy and damn decent. All of these qualities are increasingly rare in our culture. Remind yourself that you have these qualities, and that you are really worth knowing whenever you consider approaching a girl.
